Hi networkers,

After an eventful trip to Australia, a series of grueling summer classes, and a 2nd trip to the Walmart version of Australia aka Vancouver, I’m glad to announce that The Leap Sprint is back!

In this week’s edition, we’ll be discussing the changes and what you can expect to gain from reading, so let’s dive in.

🏁 Here’s the route for this week’s run:

💎 Updates to the newsletter

🎤 Topic: Introducing Runbys

📍 Checkpoints: Networking Events to Stop By

TOPIC
Updates to The Newsletter

I took a break back in May for what I planned to be 3 weeks…which spanned 4 months.

Why did I take such a long break? To be honest, I got writer’s block.

After coming back from the land-down-under, I found myself struggling with the purpose of this newsletter. I wanted to figure out how exactly my articles could benefit readers.

But now that I’ve had time to think, I believe the following will help paint a clearer picture of what I’m providing.

Each week, here’s what you can expect to gain:

  • One piece of advice + actionable steps that will help you with either internships, networking, productivity, or all three

  • A curated list of 3+ upcoming networking events with their links

  • Some pop culture humor to keep things interesting

I’m honing in on the theme of networking because I consider it the greatest asset in anyone’s social/professional life.

It’s pretty much what got me to where I am, and will serve as the framework for the advice I give going forward.

Let me know what you like, don’t like, or wish to be added either in the comments or through my socials!

TIP/TOOL OF THE WEEK
Introducing Runbys

No advice this week since this is the first article back, but I did want to introduce something I call Runbys.

Some of you already know me, but for the new subscribers, you might ask, “Wait a minute, why should I listen to you?” And I completely understand.

Now, I’m no field expert, but to give a summary, I…

  1. am a finance graduate from York University,

  2. have done 4 internships in banking, private wealth, & tech

  3. landed all those internships in under a year

  4. am currently working in Data & Technology as a business analyst

If you’re curious about learning more, here’s my LinkedIn

The goal of Runbys is to open another channel where I can help via 1:1 discussions with you!
